Johnny Morris vividly recalls the bitterly cold temperatures in Helsinki when shooting Billion Dollar Brain. He remembers that they were always accompanied by a nurse when shooting outside, because of the risks they were exposed to, and on one occasion, when it was sunny and they were filming on the frozen sea, she gave him a severe ticking off for removing this hat. He also recalls being reprimanded by local firemen who worked on the set, who made him aware of the dangers of the environment when, between shots, he was amusing himself by jumping between enormous slabs of ice.
